Bmw 507 Roadster.
Hello people,

This is probably the most special Bmw ever built. Only 254 cars were made and today change hands for extremely large sums of money. The current Z models are based on this car, specially the Z8.

It had the 3.2 litre V8 in twin-carburettor form with 150bhp - 165 bhp. It was capable of doing 136 mph. Just 254 507's were sold between 1956 and 1959, all with left-hand drive.

Having this car is like having a little part of Bmw history in your garage. There is a nice one for sale, check it out !

I not only had the chance to see a REAL 507, but to have one in my driveway a couple months ago. I hosted a Pacific Northwest 8-Series get-together, and I had TEN 850's, one M6, one 750, the only 507 from all of Canada, and my SL600 and my RENNTech E60 wagon ALL in my driveway at the SAME TIME!!!. My property value temporarily went up, especially with that $750,000 507 sitting there. I can't think of a more beautiful 44 year old car.

If you go to the 850 CSi / M6 forum here, and go to the Pacific Northwest 8-Series get together thread, there is a link that shows my driveway as good looking as it is ever likely to get.
